shorter binary name #7

Closed getreu closed 2 years ago

getreu commented 3 years ago

When Tp-Note is unsed on the console, one has to write the binary name tp-note a lot. Here, the - is especially annoying, because it inhibits autocomplete.

Tp-Note should have a shorter binary name, maybe tpnote or tpn? Are there any widely used tpn applications out there?

on Arch Linux here, there are no known packages (AUR included) that provide a binary named tpn

Yes, I am still waiting for Tracking Issue for different-binary-name · Issue #9778 · rust-lang/cargo to be stabilized. At the moment it only works with unstable cargo.

Hmm, not sure why you would need that feature as tpn is a perfectly valid name. I just tried adding the following in Cargo.toml and it worked. Isn't that sufficient ? 

[[bin]]
name = "tpn"
path = "src/main.rs"

Yes, you are right. The above feature is not necessary and your solution works perfectly well.

The remaining questions is, what would be a better short name? tpn or tpnote? tpn would be a good choice, but it might be still in conflict with other programs on some systems. Then, maybe tpnote is easier to remember? After all, it mainly concerns the Tp-Note users who work on the console directly.
